Steadfast Parts 2 & 3; High Elf News
PrintEmail to a FriendAs I promised yesterday, Steadfast Part 2 and Steadfast Part 3 are now available for you to enjoy. If you missed part 1, you'll find it here.

With the new High Elves just around the corner and the imminent release (September 4th) of The Island of Blood (it contains lots of new High Elf miniatures), the question I've been asked the most over the last couple of weeks is 'which High Elf units are staying the same and which ones are being replaced with a new kit?' This morning I went in search of an answer. I journeyed to the heart of the Studio, past the cabinets of miniatures and gaming tables, beyond the 'Eavy Metal area, through the games developers' area, until I arrived at an ominous room marked 'management' (the risks I take for you). Once inside I presented my offering (a nice cup of tea) and emerged moments later with the answer. I've listed all of the plastic sets that won't be changing below. You'll notice the army book is there too - it's not changing either. So now you can relax and get on with collecting your High Elf army.

So now that we know what isn't being changed.. what is left?

doh! Here i am thinking I'm all up in the news. *sigh*
Cut this thread then

I think that the releases are mainly aimed at replacing in the metal range with plastics. Which is a pity, as the monkey fist line troops really need to be retired.
